Primary to Secondary Transition

We are absolutely thrilled to welcome you to The John Roan School! I am Ms Johnson, your head of year, and I wanted to take this time to introduce myself to you all. I was born in Toronto, Canada and moved to England in 2015. As well as being your head of year, I am also an English Teacher and currently reading ‘Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban’ for the third time! I became a teacher because I wanted to share my excitement and love of literature with my students. I believe books are so special because they take you to far-away magical places and worlds you never dreamed existed, all without ever leaving home.

Besides being a teacher and your head of year, I love travelling to different countries, I love playing hockey, I love learning new things (I’m currently learning Spanish!), and I love to sew. I’ve spent these past few weeks reading more, baking more, riding my bike more, sewing more, and excitedly awaiting your arrival in September! We pride ourselves on our incredible pastoral care which includes an outstanding year 7 team who are looking forward to meeting you and working with you just as much as I am. I truly hope you are looking forward to joining us at The John Roan School, because we have a lot of exciting things planned for you!
